The first sign of your xbox 360 power supply overheating is the small light at the front will turn orange and start flashing, some people have reported hearing a few bleeps as well. Dont get this fault confused with the so called "PS3 Yellow Light Of Death" which is related to bad or dry joints on the CPU motherboard. You may also experience the gaming console freezing up or crashing. This can be very frustrating if you are right in the middle of game play, which always seems to happen.
